Every month or so all my devices lose internet and the only way to connect them all back is to disconnect them from the DNS server that Pihole is running.

I set my Pihole to have a static IP but for some reason after around a month or maybe longer, it just fails. This has happened 4 times over the last while and the only fix is to essentially uninstall everything on my Pihole, disable it, and then reconfigure it from scratch again.

I’m not sure what’s going on so any help would be appreciated.

    Is this some kinda weird ass gatekeeping-esque computer geek thing? What you said is so wrong it’s not even funny.

      I’m not gate-keeping. I’m simply suggesting that IP addressing is one of the less-complicated things when it comes to computer-geekery.

        Nah you’re literally gatekeeping what it means to be a computer geek. maybe it’s not gatekeeping per se, but you sure are wrong and look like an ass

          I’m wrong? You’re saying that IP addressing is one of the most complicated things about computers/networking?

            I know reading is hard, but I’m not arguing that its a complicated task; merely that your familiarty with it does not at all reflect career prospects of a “computer geek.”
